STATA SEM builder and survey weighted data

[Sue Lester]

I am a new user to Stata because I want to analyse some gSEM models with survey weighted data - which I understand is a new feature in Stata 14. What I have noticed is, that even when accessed through the Survey menu, the command line generated through the STATA SEM builder DOES NOT include the necessary "svy:" prefix to produce appropriately weighted estimates (when I had, perhaps naively, assumed it would). To obtain the appropriately weighted estimates, it is necessary to edit the command line. This is just a cautionary note to anyone else trying to do a similar analysis.
